Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal and natural gas. We call
them fossil fuels. The earth’s fossil fuels are running out. What would
happen if there were no oil, coal and gas on earth ?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of
energy. We can use energy from the sun, the wind and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. It supplies all the energy used to grow
plants, to evaporate water for rain, and to maintain the temperature of
the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we’re able to collect solar
energy, we’ll be sure to make good use of this abundant source of
power.
Another source of energy from nature is the wind. Wind power is
clean and plentiful. Energy from the wind has been used for centuries to
move ships, grind grain, pump water and do other kinds of work. In
more recent time, wind power has been used to generate electricity.
Water can also provide power. For a long time, people have used
water to power machines. Some early uses of water power were to mill
grain, saw wood and power machinery for the textile industry. Today
water power is mostly used to generate electricity.
66. We are asking the question. “What would happen if there were no
oil, coal and gas on earth ?”
because..............................................................
A. we are looking for other alternative sources of energy.
B. we are looking forward to seeing great changes.
C. we are now depending so much on oil, coal and natural gas.
D. other sources of energy can come from the sun, the wind and the
water.
67. Which of the following pairs of words can be used alternatively?
A. the sun/ the wind B. energy / power C. rain/
temperature D. grind / saw
68. Centuries ago, people used wind power to..................................
A. maintain the earth’s temperature B. grow plants
C. get water from underground D. generate electricity
69. Up till now, water energy has been used for...............................
A. similar purposes B. moving ships C. the textile
industry D. different purposes
70. The word ‘abundant’ in the paragraph mostly means ........ .
A. natural B. plentiful C. necessary D. limited Sè

The world’s oceans are so vast that they (71)..... cope with the

sunlight has reduced in many cities. Man’s (80)..... environment is being
changed in a serious way.
